Bill H.R.8024 titled “To amend title 40, United States Code, to prohibit the distribution of Federal funds to certain entities related to the People's Republic of China for certain public works projects, and for other purposes” was referred to the Subcommittee on Economic Development Public Buildings and Emergency Management by the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Claudia Tenney.
The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee moves forward in some way on two bills per day, taking one action on average per day.
Most bills have a hearing where those involved explain why they are for or against the bill. Roughly 8,000 bills are addressed by committees each year but only about 800 make it to the floor of Congress, according to ushistory.org.
A 2019 report from the Brookings Institute argued committees aren’t capable of delving fully into the issues they address and are forced to rely on lobbyists.
